*Dear Onkar*, the b43-fwcutter package installed this time, after I skipped
the option to
fetch firmware. then I ran this command, and it identified the wl_apsta file
but said
in the end that "failed to create output directory: Permission denied".

I didn't wait much but running dmesg gave the info that "Firmware file
b43/ucode5.fw
not found or load failed." It suggested that I use Version 4 from
http://www.linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#devicefirmware
Now I am looking at this section on the page, but I can't decide how to move
forward. There are so many versions of the same procedure. Can you help?
Perhaps I just need the right firmware version. How do I identify and what
is the command?

Also, I'm not able to understand this line: "*Note that you must adjust the
FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR path to your distribution. The standard place where
firmware is installed to is /lib/firmware*."

(I tried restarting also, but no luck with wifi yet.)
